How do realtors get client referrals from other cities?
Realtors get cross-city referrals by being the partner a network sends to: in the Realtor Referral Hub, a realtor with a client moving away hands that client to the local partner who covers the destination metro, on a signed referral agreement between the brokerages. Listing and matching are free for realtors — nobody buys leads here — and at closing the receiving brokerage pays the standard 25% referral fee to the sending brokerage. Partners get picked because they hold the metro and answer the desk, not because they paid for placement.
The flow, from the agent side
Join free and get listed.
Join the Realtor Referral Hub group — you are registered automatically — and claim your free Verified listing so the desk can find you by metro.
Hold ground.
Claim your metro on the Territory Race board: homeowner requests and agent-sent needs for your metro come to its holder first.
Work the need, sign the paper.
Referrals run on signed paper between the brokerages; for agent-sent needs the receiving agent signs the network’s standing finder’s-fee agreement (5%, no cap) before client details move.
Sending pays the same as receiving
Your client moving to Denver is worth the standard 25% to your brokerage when the Denver partner closes them — but only if the handoff runs on paper inside a network. Sending through the Hub keeps that fee collectable and your client looked after.
